We are delighted to announce that we have won the award for Best Restaurant Design – Europe in The International Hotel & Property Awards 2024. The International Hotel & Property Awards, hosted by design et al, are a leading UK interior design magazine; thank you very much to everyone who voted.

Enter our light filled restaurant space, brought to life by acclaimed hospitality designer Robert Angell, in conjunction with David Yeo, guests are greeted by the sight of a striking 16m bar running the length of the restaurant.

On sunny days, the floor to ceiling windows look out onto blue skies and the smart boutiques of Sloane Street, and there are terrace tables that line the restaurant frontage, beneath a striped awning.

English oak timber-topped tables are laid out within the azure-toned space, and there are rich blue banquettes, dappled blue paint and even projections of shimmering water in the sunlight. Hanging from the high ceilings and artfully draped down columns are sculptures of netting from English fishing boats – a nod to Azzurra’s dedication to using British seafood – supporting a constellation of decorative crustaceans and fish that have been hand-carved on the Amalfi Coast.

A private dining space at the back of Azzurra features warm wooden walls and ceilings, roughly painted to evoke old fishing boats.

A statement staircase – adjacent to a verre églomisé mirror referencing nautical maps and mythological stories – descends to the bathrooms, giving guests the feeling of going below deck. Penny tiles, porthole mirrors and brass seahorse coat hooks complete the maritime vibe; while deep below is the restaurant’s own engine room.
